36 Prayer Is the Key to Paradise Early in the morning, just before dawn A Mu‘adhdhin from the mosque calls the Adhaan From a minaret, his voice loud and clear He calls the believers from far and near ‘Prayer is better than sleep,’ he loudly declares Come to the mosque and leave behind your affairs ‘Prayer leads to success,’ he does then call O do come quickly now and do not stall Hurry up and leave your comfortable bed And do get ready for Prayer instead Prayer does help you to achieve your goal It is indeed a tonic for the soul Perform ablutions, gather in the hall Let not Satan allure you ever at all Join the worshippers and follow the Imam Through Ruku, Sajdah, Qa’adah and Qiyaam
